Hi Nsx team,
Just thought of asking if anyone is able to deploy nsx lab environment using 16 GB ram on vmwarefusion on mac.
Have a look at this, it will give you some idea:
It's summed up pretty well in this statement:
My MacBook Pro has 16GB of RAM, which is barely sufficient to run a core lab provided that I shut down absolutely everything else and am very patient while it builds.
Keep in mind that you will at least need a couple of ESXi hosts and a vCenter. Ideally a domain controller, shared storage appliance and a router.
You might be able to fit all of the above into 16GB of RAM. But adding NSX Manager, Controllers and Edges into the mix will be tough. I'd suggest 24-32GB to be able to run this.
